I am getting similar deal around 43 to 44 K without just Mark Levinson of my favourite color. Unfortunately the local dealer does not have all options (ML PackAge) it in my fav color.
Is it a good deal ? . I enjoy music but really not that picky. How good is Mark Levinson audio system/ as i am thinking to compromise.. The price difference with Mark levinson is around 1500 TO 2000.
Also does anyone installed/have i pod audio kit-- which shows the ipod menu on the NAV screen. By default it comes with an auxilary output.
Is it a good option to add and is costing around 599..
Thank you for the input guys...
Great job...
I am taking this route as i am getting a better deal on a personal loan ..
Thanks
I have the upgraded BOSE system in my Infiniti, does not even come close to the ML. IMHO
Did you get the IS250? The IS350 is rated worse MPG than the GS350 (18/25 vs 19/27). The IS250 is SIGNIFICANTLY slower than either the IS350 or GS350 (200 vs 300 HP).
has anyone gotten better than $6500 off msrp for a 2008 gs350?
i've heard that's the secret number.
thanks in advance.
Some body in the forums mentioned about Mark Levinson package and boy what a difference listening to the music. I chose a different color thougt not a big compromise and i love the music coming out of speakers...
Thanks FOLKS.
How good are th flat tires.. do they wear out quickly ? ..are there any other issues.
By far i felt a smooth ride and no hassles. Dealership replaced the break pads recently as there more dust from tires on the RIMS..
Thanks!
Can somebody run carfax for me on this vehicle VIN JTHBE96S270008522 ??
I'm located in southern california and i'm looking for a good deal on a new 08 or preowned 07 lexus gs 350 RWD. I wouldn't mind a 2007 GS 350 with not too many miles (less than 25k total miles). I found a few at longo lexus that they are listing for $39k but it doesn't have Mark Levinsion radio system. I would like to stay under $35k total (this includes tax) and get the ML system since I hear so much great things about it. Is that unreasonable to think that I can get a 07 model with ML at a dealership for under $35k? If so, what is a reasonable/good deal price?
What would the going price be for the 08 model gs 350 be for a model with the ML system? Am i better off waiting for the 2009 models to come out and see if there is a dip in the prices for the 07 & 08 versions?
Any and all responses and help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
I think I did OK because one dealer told me he wanted $47,500 plus the $2500 car I drove into the dealership with for a 2008 model. I found it odd that 2 dealers could be so far apart. I knew I was in trouble when I told the salesman that I wanted a GS and he told me I should buy an RX instead. He had only 6 GSs (in bad colors) and no 2009s.
I'd be happy to approach a local dealer with too much inventory and offer to take 2 cars off his inventory before the end of the month if he lowers the price on both by 50%.
He mentioned that he has a few 08 ES and 08 GS that he'd like to get rid of.
Anyone interested??
Thanks.
This forum has been pretty useful in my research. Thanks everyone
You did great.

Dealership in northern NJ. Brand new 2008 AWD GS 350 in Smoky Granite/Black equipped as follows:
Basic navigation package (not fancy ML audio)
Automatic sensing wipers and headlights
Parking assist
Ventilated seats
Accessory pac
Spoiler
Leather and wood steering wheel
$51,249 MSRP
$43,918 Sale price / Capitalized cost
My salesman was great and I'd recommend him to anyone. Manager was a d**k, but I guess thats his job. Happy to provide their names to anyone via private message
Again, greatly appreciate this forum's assistance
It's at a local dealer. 15,000 miles on it. This is a managers car at this dealer.
I took a 2009 home for an overnight trial and liked it - rides nice comfortable etc.
Manager says you can have it for under 40K. After researching i'm thinking 38K would be a good price. Does this sound like a good deal or should I negotiate lower?
Thanks for any feedback. It will help me in my decision.
I ended up with 3 yr lease
$625monthly pymt plus tax
First and DMV/reg fees upfront =$1500
12,000 miles per year, but not an issue if you purchase at end of lease
42% residual, roughly 21k
The car was loaded with navi, park assistance and ML.
I hope I got a good deal, you guys let me know.
I was also told and shown that Lexus is cutting back costs/trimmings on base model gs by getting rid of wood finishing on steering wheel and automatic rear shade. The sales guy said he wasn't sure if there was anything else they were going cheap on to save on costs. That's part of the reason I went for the fully loaded.
I'm thinking I can do better too. It turns out it doesn't have ML but does have NAV. I figured when he said loaded it meant everything but apparently not.
I am not the expert but your lease sounds like a great deal to me. I would go for something like that. Off to do more research/negotiating...
by my calculations with the current rebate offer
the dealer cost is around $40,915 not including MV, MZ,CS, P7, LS, Z1, LM, WL, GN
not facturing floor fees from the factory and bonus for X cars sold or whatever
the miles
15,000*$0.15 (our lease is $0.18 per mile extra) = $2,250
so i'd do
invoice
- 930 holdback
- 5000 dealer cash
- 2250 for the miles
+ invoice options
= ? + ~3% profit = ? + $825 delivery fee
on this config i get over $38k but somewhere in the $38k range is where'd shoot with this one
maybe check kelley blue book and nadaguides to see what they think the car should fetch
thanks
$48,000 seems pretty high for a 2008 GS460 with 14k miles, do you guys have any idea of what would be a reasonable price for this car?
Thanks!
:confuse:
Don't get me wrong here, I love Lexus, and possibilly a lexus will be my next car.
But the thing is, I've been to a lexus dealer and a bmw the same day, not once, but 3times. Bmws for some reason excited me a lot more than lexus apart from the many reliability issues I've read about bmws.
Thanks

Has anyone bought a GS since Oct. 2011? It is interesting that nobody has posted anything since Oct. 2011. Anyways, if you have bought a 2013 or 2014 GS 350, please share your purchase information. Thanks.
I agree, this is a great car and I was hoping to find some info here, kind of shocked!
Not sure if my info is helpful to anyone at this point in time. I bought a new 2013 RWD with Nav, heated/cooled seats, sun shade, blind spot, parking sensors, etc. in February 2014 for $10K off MSRP. I don't remember the exact numbers. It's $43,xxx for the car that had a sticker of $53,xxx, before TT&L.
